Oregon is dumb and only allows 6 characters, with an optional space or hyphen for free.

So unless PBZEPP counts, no it wouldn't fit.

why did you use the space between PB and Foot then? Unless that space is included in your 6 character count.

I thought it was peanut butter foot or something. No one will get that while driving.

Didn't try, I specifically wanted something with PB. I don't need EVERYONE to get it, I'd like some level of plausible deniability if/when I get pulled over. Had the car 8 months without an incident yet but I'm sure that luck won't last forever.

I'd have gotten it instantly if it was "Pb"... too bad you can't use lowercase.

Living in Oregon is punishment enough. I'm glad you got your vanity plate to alleviate your suffering.

Do you really think the police are going to know chemistry? :p (Just kidding officers in ATOT) My wife's vanity plate may have saved me from a ticket once. I looked at the officer when he got to the window and said "before you even ask, NO, I am NOT Goatgurl." He just started laughing.

We were never taught the Latin names - just English ones (the ones that everyone knows:p) and the chemical symbols. I think that gold is aurum, but I could be wrong about that. I do know Gold = Au.


I didn't get it. I was thinking, "Perry Bible Fellowship......oot?" and didn't get any farther.:eek: The tree served as a divider, and as such I saw a space between the two halves. Oh well.

Same.

Didn't even make me chuckle, I just felt embarrassed.

Yeah I really don't think 95% of people on the road will get it. I was thinking peanut butter foot, then I realized where I was at and stepped into geekmode and got it.
